Reviews From Guests

Alex's flat was perfect for my requirements as I know this area of London very well. It has a patio for warm weather use and a well supplied kitchen; the beds were comfortable; the towels plentiful: a terrific shower in one of the bedrooms and a bath. Pimlico is like a small town with every market and fast food shop close to hand, but the transportation to the tourist center is easy and convenient. I hope to stay here again. Lou Spitalnick

Hello Louis, thank you very much for your thoughts and review. As it happens, I have bought an additional mirror for the bathroom so that will be going up asap. The apartment was renovated just last year - the final touches will be a new fridge, oven and the installation of the new shower in the back bedroom. I am glad you and Gillian had a great time in London. Very many thanks for your visit. All best wishes, Alex

Alex was a great host! we didn't actually meet him, but his emails were welcoming and full of all the information we needed. His flat is in a great spot, close to Victoria underground, rail and coach stations and walking distance to Buck palace and Big Ben. 200 m away there is a big Sainsbury supermarket on a street with lots of eat out options.
Alex's flat was great for our family of five. The main bedroom had a double bed and a small shower, the second bedroom also had a double bed. Our fifth child (also a teenager) slept on an airbed in the lounge room. The kitchen was very small but had everything we needed, including cooking oil, salt, pepper and all the other condiments you need to cook meals. The large washing machine in the separate bathroom/laundry meant we could keep up with our washing and the central heating made sure our clothes dried easily.
We would stay at Alex's place again if we visited London and will be recommending it to our friends.

Alex is very friendly and did his best to make our trip a pleasant one. The flat is ideally located to visit London, it takes less than ten minutes walking to go to the tube and main bus stations. The flat is as described, confortable enough for four adults and two kids, with a well-equipped kitchen. We highly recommend this flat to anyone who wants to be close to major tourist locations (Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Tate Britain, Trafalgar Square...).

Alex offered so many tips about the local area, pubs, shopping. He seemed truly interested in helping us have a wonderful stay. The location is very close to several bus routes and Victoria underground is a short walk away. There's a lot of small hotels in the neighborhood. A comfortable flat.

We've had a really nice stay in the flat. It was well located close to Victoria station (5min walking), well equipped, clean, beds are comfortables and the court is appréciable. Alex is a well reactive man with good advices.
We would definitivelly recommend

This flat was perfect for our family of four--two parents traveling with 2 adult children. For Americans who might not understand the term, a garden apartment means it is the bottom flat of a row house but the flat is filled with light and has all the amenities a traveler would need along with lots of historical atmosphere--the house dates to around 1885. It's in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood and is close to restaurants and grocery stores. We were able to go out to eat OR cook at the flat which was very nice on the family budget.
Alex, the host, has worked hard to make the flat a lovely place and he has succeeded plus he was very helpful and answered all our questions. As outstanding as the apartment and Alex were, the best thing about the place was its proximity to Victoria Station which has connections for THREE underground railway lines plus city buses and trains. We stayed for a week, exploring London every day and then we went to Ireland by train and ferry for another week. We used the Victoria Station for all of it!
(The only caution I would add is that although the description says it sleeps more than our family of 4, it would have to be people who don't mind sleeping next to each other on air beds and sharing one bathroom. Although the master bedroom has a very small shower in it, the other bedroom's shower was not functioning when we were there and there is only one commode for the entire apartment.)
My family would stay there again in a heartbeat--we loved our time and Alex was a GREAT host!

Alex was GREAT! He was quick to respond to us and gave us the information we asked for ahead of time. We had some minor issues with wifi and he fixed it right away. The location was good, just a few minutes walk to underground, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey etc,,, There are grocery stores nearby as well as restaurants. We were able to cook some of our meals there, saving our family of 5 some money. The area has a lot of foot traffic/cars so the bedroom closest to the street can be loud if you leave the window open AND you're not used to hearing traffic. We would stay here again. Thank you, Alex.
